Hi all.
I’ve come home from work and noticed my clown has what appears to be purple spots on one of his fins.
that seems to ‘glow’
Now I can’t say I’ve noticed this before, but I’ve recently changed lighting. Is it possible that discolourations etc are more prominent in the lighting or is there something wrong with him. He’s swimming around as normal, no other ‘spots’ on his body anywhere I can see.
I’ve attached a picture as best I can. (He wouldn’t stay still long enough for a decent picture). Hope someone can help as I’m worried about him :(.
Thanks
Emma

Would you be able to get a photo under a white light?

Hi. I’ve tried my very best to take one under the white. You can’t really see any purple in this picture, but it’s about the same in brightness /colour under both lights. It’s a few splashes of Lilac/purple on his fin.

Mushrooms can sting. Has the fish been hanging around the mushroom?

No, he sleeps right next to the Acan on his side and that’s where he stays for the night to my knowledge. :)
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
